Nicolas Gisin (University of Geneva) argues time is NOT an illusion while defending quantum free will They discuss quantum chance, superdeterminism, and Gisin’s views on quantum gravity and the logical foundations of physics.

0:00 Introduction
3:38 Gisin's "Quantum Chance" book is a friendly introduction to QM
6:36 Consciousness is outside today's physics and may always be
7:48 Indeterminacy is necessary but not sufficient for free will
9:37 Free will is necessary for "rationality" to exist
10:40 Free will comes FIRST in the "logical order"
21:39 What does mathematics have to say about free will and consciousness?
27:18 Intuitionism vs Constructionism
28:22 Classical physics is NOT deterministic
34:27 Does he agree with Stephen Wolfram that it's computation underlying physics?
36:06 Time is "thick" like molasses
40:21 Intuitionist mathematics and law of excluded middle
42:57 Graham Priest's paraconsistent logic and other forms of logic
49:32 A new understanding of time is needed for Quantum Gravity
52:55 Discrete spacetime? Perhaps not
53:21 Philosophy of Jules Lequier
55:15 On Sabine Hossenfelder's views on free will
58:33 Superdeterminism
1:01:52 Is indeterminacy truly necessary for free will?
1:03:39 Many Worlds is nonsense
1:05:37 Should logic be the basis of mathematics?
1:10:00 Which approach to quantum gravity does Gisin favor?
1:10:17 [Stephen Robbins] Bergson?
1:11:23 [Complex Plane @kekule6] Chomsky and denial of free will by physicists is an attempt to make evidence fit a model
